The other day I was thinking; for as long as I’ve been working on BRAGMYBAG, most of the comments and emails we get, are from those that crave (read-to-buy) a Chanel bag made from calfskin or lambskin.

But I haven’t received many emails about Chanel bags in exotic leathers like Alligator or Python.

Here are two beautifully crafted Chanel handbags, one is the Chanel Mini Flap Bag in squared shape and crafted from Alligator. It’s painted in pink to enhance its cuteness and it comes with a CC logo on the front as well as interwoven chain links. There is a back pocket made on the other side.

An unrestrained luxury, you get a totally different feel than in lambskin or caviar. It’s rare, extravagant and surely more expensive. Wouldn’t love to take it home?

Then the famous Chanel Boy Bag in Alligator Leather. Instead of quilted, the center wraps itself with alligator patterns. The Boy CC logo on the front and large chains with leather strap.

To be honest, I would be walking away with the pink mini bag first. Both are gorgeous, but answer this question:

If you could choose between the lambskin, caviar or in the crocodile leather, which one would you pick and why?

September’s already been very good to Kate Upton – she snagged the coveted Model of the Year award at the Style Awards this week, and she’s currently doing her best Marilyn Monroe impersonation on the cover of the most recent issue of Vanity Fair, which celebrates the publication’s 100th anniversary. Here she is arriving in NYC for the Style Awards, carrying a Celine Crocodile Luggage Tote. You can shop authentic, pre-owned Celine bags at Portero.

While most Celine croc bags are simply croc-embossed leather, only authentic croc skin will do for the 2013 Model of the Year! That’s right, this one is the real deal Holyfield. We can’t verify this croc Celine’s exact price, but a python version of this bag currently retails for $5,600, so an authentic croc version would very likely be several thousand above that.
